    When we married I wasn't a metalsmith and had our rings made by the
    local smithin' couple: she made mine, he made my husband's. Within
    months of the wedding I had developed an allergy to mine (nickel
    white gold, apparently!) and had to stop wearing it. My husband
    bought me a plain gold band that I wore for a while, and years later
    I made myself a simple forged band, almost on a whim. My husband is
    still wearing his original band, and we haven't matched for years!
    Or, should I say, the RINGS haven't matched for years! Now, I have a
    design being kicked around on my bench for a new set for us, and one
    of these days I'll get to it!.....
